Setting up ESP Sync for Salesforce Marketing Cloud

With ESP Sync for Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC), you can automatically sync your email code and assets from Litmus Builder to SFMC while you build. When it’s time to review your email with Proof or Checklist, or run a Spam Test, you can quickly select a draft email from SFMC to view in Litmus without ever switching tools.

To connect Litmus to your Salesforce Marketing Cloud instance you need to set up Litmus as an Installed Package.

Note: You will need Administrative rights on you SFMC account to complete setup.

Note: For your Installed Package to work properly, your SFMC account must have the All Subscribers List setting enabled. This setting is disabled by default and can be enabled by submitting a request through SFMC support.

The first step is to create an installed package. Log into Salesforce Marketing Cloud, click on your name in the upper right corner of the screen, and click Setup.

Click on Installed Packages under Platform Tools > Apps in the left hand menu.

In the permissions section select the following permissions, then click Save:

Channels - Email: Read, Write, Send

Assets - Documents and Images: Read, Write

Assets - Saved Content: Read, Write

Contacts - List and Subscribers: Read, Write

Data - Data Extensions: Read, Write

Provisioning - Accounts: Read, Write

Once you click Save you will see the API Integration details for the Component you just created, including: Client ID, Client Secret, and Tenant subdomain. Keep this page open or copy these details somewhere safe so you can enter them in Litmus later to complete the sync setup. Note: the Tenant Subdomain can be found between the “https://” and “.auth” portions of the AuthenticationBase URI. The Tenant Subdomain should be a 28-character string starting in “mc” as shown below.

To find your Tenant Instance (also referred to as Server Stack) you'll need to take a look at the URL in your browser’s address bar when you're logged into Salesforce Marketing Cloud. See this help article for more details.

You can now set up your connection to Salesforce Marketing Cloud from the Settings > Manage ESPs page in Litmus. You will need to enter your Tenant Subdomain, Tenant Instance, and the Client ID and Client Secret for the API component you created in the previous steps.

Click Add & Authenticate to complete setup.

Your Litmus account should now be connected and ready to sync with Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
